Hm, looks like the biggest red herring of all times to me. I don't buy it. This is too poorly written to be true. Never tought I would say so, but even one of those far stretched Partridge-theory's on this website would have been more satisfying to see as an upshot.
Even Bertram as RJ looked fine in a way.

No, this was just a briljant distraction for all us impatient fans.
And now for something completely different ;)
